I am about to buy a cpu, a motherboard, memory, hard drive.... and LCD since Christmas is coming. But I simply don't know what to buy. There are so many CPU, motherboard, hard drive... Anyone here can give me some suggestions please as to what CPU is most worth to buy for its price? I only play game occastionally. I have heard that if a company is about to stop manufacturing a certain model of cpu( sorry I don't know much about computer but I am trying to assemble one on my own), then the price will drop, is it true? if so, what cpu will no longer exist in the near future and is most worthwhile to buy? also what brand of hard drive is good? and do I buy a motherboard first or a cpu first? I don't understand the meaning of these descriptions: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI w/ Dual-Ch DDR400, Dual Gb LAN, SATA 3Gb/s, Dual RAID, 8-Ch Audio, Dual PCI-E

I understand ASUS is the name of a company. I don't understand what A8N-SLI deluxe means. Also, what does Dual-ch ddr400 , dual gblan, sata 3gb/s, dual raid, 8-ch audio, dual pci-3 mean? Does the word NVIDIA mean this motherboard can hold the NVIDIA's video card? if so, does it mean it can hold any video card from NVIDIA?

Thanks in advance.

hi, thanks for all your input. I actually planning to buy everything brand new. A new cpu, motherboard, hard drive, dvd drive, memory, graphic card, speaker.

So what can I expect from a $430 dollars U.S. ? what class of cpu should I buy if I only play game occasionally? and after the cpu, what motherboard should I buy? and how about had drive, dvd drive, memory, and graphic card? I seriously don't know much about computer that's why hopefully someone can help me out and guide me here.

To the people living in U.S., how is the price on the site here http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowHome

Hope more people can help because I still don't really know what to do. Hope people can guide me step by step.:o
